Luke
Skywalker didn�t have the problems with Darth Vader that the real conservatives
now must face in the coming months and years, given the fact that their
own party sold them out. Sold out? Well, not really. They just lost their
collective souls because they had too many incompetent, lazy and immoral
wretches accepting bribes, lying, cheating, fornicating, pediastering,
romancing young pages of the same or opposite sex, just like their opposite
numbers within the Democrat Party that don�t consider their problem as
serious as in the Republican Party.

Most
members in both parties never even read the bills that they vote on but
depended on the party leaders for instructions. They managed to increase
the national debt to $8.6 trillion dollars and growing every minute of
every day. They raised their salaries and pensions befitting the millionaires
they became since entering office. Much of the money is spent for purposes
that the federal government has no business funding. When members of the
Senate and House leave office, they become lobbyists working for powerful
law firms whose purpose is to serve whatever client pays the most.

The
infestation of the conservative Republican Party came about when the neo-cons
moved in and gave their peculiar advice to their presidents including
President George W. Bush. Many of the neo-cons have Zionist objectives,
working for Israel�s strategic interest. There is a retinue of liberals,
posing as Republicans who congregate in the halls of the Capitol; in congressional
committees and participate in W�s cabinet deliberations. They are capable
of switching their loyalties easily from Democrat to Republican and back
again within a blink of an eye.

All
this corruption has made my country weak as it did Rome beginning at the
end of the 2nd Century A.D. With the murder of Commodious (AD 192) the
disintegration commenced. The evidence of deterioration of the Roman Empire
was the change in its morals. During the early Julian period, the pagans
had a sense of morality and the appropriateness of keeping the marriage
vows. Homosexuals were considered mentally flawed. The social critic Juvenal
wrote demeaning comments about homosexuals in Roman society. The acceptance
of homosexual practices as normal human behavior is an affront to the
dignity of mankind. Homosexual practices satisfy lustful cravings, but
have no redeeming purpose. By degrading themselves as human beings to
a depraved condition, unworthy of the race, not even befitting the lower
animals, they are likely to flaunt their abnormality to convince others
that what they practice is normal.

Once
this depravity was accepted by Rome�s general population as normal � other
practices fell into line. Lethal gladiatorial combat took place between
prisoners who would chance dying for the opportunity to gain freedom by
fighting opponents to the death for the crowd�s entertainment. That spectacle
then devolved into slaughter of Christians being eaten by wild animals;
the grimmest tortures became entertainment for the plebs the laboring
class, as well as those classified as former slaves or Freedmen, most
of whom were captured during battle and had little love for Rome, its
laws and its government. Slaves performed duties in the name of their
owners even in their owners� public houses as bartenders or as linguists
loaned out for payment as were those who had medical skills. Some were
afforded freedoms nearly that of legal citizens, especially the Greek
slaves. In time, Rome comprised of so many foreigners, speaking different
languages and having different cultures that being Roman meant little
to those who comprised the majority of the populace. The Roman army soon
became the most powerful political entity.

Most
Romans reveled in the debauchery of their mad or nearly mad emperors.
While Roman was being entertained and given free food, its legions were
being defeated throughout every part of Rome�s far reaching empire. Marauding
hoards of uncivilized tribes were driving back Rome�s finest armies. Corruption
and chicanery within the Senate became so common that the �games,� the
spectacles held in the Coliseum, were used by the emperors to placate
the turbulence within the ranks of the hoi polloi. The competitive games
soon degenerated into live pornographic spectacles, including bestiality
tolerated by the obsequious Roman elite, their political generals and
the emperors� Praetorian Guards. Until the emperors threatened the interests
of the most powerful of the sycophants, the entertainment debauchery continued.
When the emperors overstepped the line set by the most powerful of the
elite, their relatives and wives, they were soon conveniently dispatched
by the sword or by poison and replaced by those equally despicable.

What
makes the United States today any different?

Instead
of attending the orgies in the Coliseum, the public is addicted to sports
as the main topic and purpose of life for many men; soap operas on TV
for women; and pornography on the internet used by pedophiles to attract
youngsters � a vicarious, undermining form of mental drug calculated to
separate a large portion of the mostly male population from their morals.
It is as damagingly and addictive as hard drugs. They are vicariously
reveling in scenes of debauchery the Romans never envisioned.

In other
areas the viewing public is being immunized to violent murder, mayhem,
depravity of all sorts and savagery which is acted out daily throughout
our country by those who lost all sense of the difference between what
is on the tube and reality. When that happens decency is beyond their
reach. Homosexuality is touted even in our schools as normal aberrations
similar to those who have physical deformities. They try to convince us,
without actual proof, that the majority is born to be women or in the
case of women they are really males in mind and spirit, but have women
bodies.

Rejecting
this opinion there are numerous examples that all but the smallest segment
of the homosexual society are born with aberrant sexual proclivities.
It is also not written in stone that the majority acquired the deviant
practices because of societal contacts, rape by pederasts, lack of male
fatherly exposure, excessive female exposure and influences when they
were young by degenerate religious pedophilic predators and/or depraved
fathers and mothers and teachers. The gay community is prone to use these
examples as the reason they are homosexuals, which contradicts the premise
that their filthy practices are an accident of birth. By their own excuses
of their behavior is proof that their deviant practices can be acquired
and consequently able to be treated.

They
seldom admit that this condition is correctable, although there are hundreds
of thousands of incidences that refute their arguments. It appears they
are more likely to recruit children or meet prospects in bathhouses than
seek psychiatric help. There are millions of sexually abused children
who go through life afflicted by horrible, prolonged periods of sexual
abuse but they are not medically gender-mutated because of their experiences.

Most
of the U.S. population is treated on the boob tube to a continuous stream
of mind dummying programs and propaganda that the five major media moguls
deem appropriate for commoners. An American child is expected to mature
at a certain age, but now its maturity is extendable to infinity because
most never really mature mentally, but go through life in a state of symbolism.
Young Americans are indoctrinated into believing, because they are Americans,
that they are superior to the rest of the nations of the world - deserving
of freedom and can ignore obligations and responsibility by allowing others
to bare their obligations to protect our country and society. The school
system is key in indoctrinating future voters who will, after sufficient
exposure to Communist and Nazi indoctrination techniques, become the willing
tools of a Godless society that will follow lemming-like the dictates
of the unelected elites of the new world order.

It has
become mainly a society composed of give me [es] or �Me
First (ers)� who look only to government for solutions, expecting special
treatment for their peculiar wants and desires. Corporations are head
of the feed line, with the working middle class evaporating between the
greed for profits and the greed of the �green stamp crowd.� Also, add
those illegal aliens who are using or violating our laws, draining the
welfare system, overwhelming our hospital emergency rooms, the public
school systems and prisons. Their role in America�s demise is significant.

Self-reliance
is a not a word in Hillary�s dictionary. In other words,
the nation has lost not only its moral compass, but its civic responsibility
protective compass. It verbalizes religious beliefs and patriotism, yet
partakes in unrestrained materialism at every level. A society afflicted
with gluttony; with cell phones glued to their ears and the latest fad
game gadgets in their hands and the general society tolerates the taking
away of its Constitutional rights which made the United States unique
among the family of nations. Progressive collectivism is the by-word today.
It has allowed government leaders to adopt the mantra of manifest
destiny, the savior of the world at the expense of our own liberty,
sovereignty and quality of life. It has, at the Supreme Court level, expunged
God and permitted the abortion of millions of unborn human beings - the
nation�s future legal citizens. Moral principles are the very basis of
why this nation grew and prospered. Its leaders have accepted globalism
minus national borders and a future justice system that will be operating
in Brussels or out of The Hague.

Now,
that China and India and other parts of the third world have progressed
into various stages of prosperity, they no longer look to the United States
as an ideal example to emulate. These few friends the U.S. has on the
world stage doubt our tenacity and reliability and lack of will to protect
even their vital national interests and are now increasing their defense
capabilities, including the possibility of the use of nuclear weapons.
The U.S. appears as hypocritical, self-serving and materialistic. All
of our warts are being broadcast throughout the world. The shining beacon
by the sea has a dark cloud, of our own making overshadowing it.

This
nation must again install its backbone of righteousness. We�re now in
a real war, a war between religious beliefs, of age old animosities stemming
back to the Crusades; a war for access to oil on which our economy depends;
a war of principles of Western Society vs. entire regions of Moslems who
believe in annihilating non-believers and creating 12th century theocracies.
This is a war that, if lost, could affect our survival as a nation. Yet,
ever since WW II, our national leaders refused to ask approval from the
congress for a declaration of war because any of the non-war wars as war
would require the government to justify them. It would demand from the
nation great sacrifices and the nation�s treasures to achieve the ultimate
goal of victory. They are afraid that the public would not tolerate sacrifices
expected from those who experienced WW II.

Our
people have gotten used to the idea that if the non-wars last too long
or become too expensive or too many military families lose their loved
ones, we can just walk away without suffering the consequences. There
is no doubt that attacking and invading Iraq was a major blunder, especially
while there still remained an engagement in Afghanistan and while our
own borders were/are being overrun by illegal aliens, saboteurs, drug
dealers and the MS-13 gangs of thugs. The problem is which war takes priority,
the one that violates our nation�s borders or the Middle East Wars? Do
we have the manpower to fight ground battles or are we to apply the nuclear
option? Are we to forget that our borders are being violated just so one
or the other of our political parties can benefit from the population
explosion?
